Description

The Toa of Air

In the Bionicle story Lewa is the Toa of Air, and lime as an accent colour suits him well. The main colours of the set are dark bluish gray, pearl light gray, lime and black: the grays form the armour, while the lime green sets bright points on joints and weapons. At 51 pieces the figure is small but fully poseable. Beside Kopaka from the same year, Lewa looks noticeably more colourful and lively. The light colouring also recalls wind and sky, which suits the character.

A short build with lots of movement

The build goes quickly, yet you still pick up the core idea of the Bionicle system: ball joints and push-fit connections that the whole figure is built on. You assemble the torso, arms and legs, add the armour and then see which poses work. On a small figure it is fun to test the range of movement, and the result suits younger builders as well as collectors who want to complete the set of heroes. If you like, rebuild the figure afterwards and swap parts with other Toa.

Twenty-six different parts

Of the 51 pieces, 26 are different, so more than half of the box is made up of unique elements. That is typical of Bionicle and a good reason to look at the parts list on this page: you can see which special pieces are included and compare them with what you own. If you want to restore a loose figure, it saves a lot of searching when you replace individual elements. For figures built from special parts an exact list pays off, since spares usually come singly.

Display and rebuild

Lewa looks good displayed together with the other Toa from 2008. If you would rather experiment, combine the armour pieces with other Bionicle sets and build figures of your own. The “What can I build?” tool on this page shows what is still possible with the parts from this set and the rest of your collection. Lime green is an eye-catching colour and works well for accents in your own models. It also makes a nice gift for fans of the line and takes up very little room.
